Beautiful sunset and the Gualala River is turning "Steelhead" green

Thursday's sunset was beautiful with the leftover clouds from a storm. This photo was taken from our deck in Anchor Bay.

Earlier that day, Rick and I - with our golden retriever, Huckleberry - walked along the Gualala Bluff Trail. The river was closed to the ocean by the sandbar. You can see the river has turned "Steelhead" green. When the river opens Steelhead will enter the river. Catch and release fishing will then be the order of the day.

To see a photo of a Steelhead in the Gualala River, here is the link: http://mendonomasightings.blogspot.com/2012/09/adult-steelhead-photographed-by-peter.html

    Hi Jeane, I love that "steelhead grey color" of our estuaries. The Navarro has been like this as well. Best, Cate

    Thanks, Kate, for the report on the Navarro River. It is one of the jewels of the Coast!
